Study: More than half of pets overweight
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- The two top Democratic presidential candidates are actively seeking additional funds with 22 U.S. states having primary elections next week.
Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., have spent the vast majority of the more than $100 million they each collected over the past year, The Washington Post reported Monday.
Both the Clinton and Obama camps said they realize they need a fresh team of supporters, people who cannot only contribute their own money but can gather large numbers of $2,300 checks from friends and relatives, the newspaper said.
The Post said the logical place to look for fresh donors is the supporters of rivals who have either dropped out of the race or are struggling.
A top fundraiser for New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said he started getting calls before the New Hampshire primary. Michael Stratton said Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told him "we need you with us if Bill (Richardson) is going to get out," Stratton told the Post.
